Q1 2025 hiring cohort | Brale Blog

Updated: 2025-02-06

Due to an overwhelming number of applicants, we are no longer accepting new applications. We are now focused on interviewing the applicants who have already applied.

If you'd like to be notified when the application process reopens, please fill out this form, and we will update you as new positions become available.


Brale does team planning differently. We hire in cohorts which allows us to optimize for a few things:

  • Support a consistent onboarding experience

  • Give the process our undivided attention

  • Align our team expansion directly to business needs

This tightly coupled approach also ensures that we don't end up with a bloated hiring roadmap that decouples from client demands. Our 2025 Q1 sales objectives have already been met and Brale is focused now on delivering those programs. These roles will assist us in expanding the velocity to realize revenue and build the business.

If you know someone for which this could be a good fit, we'd just ask for an old fashioned reference. We don't offer referral bonuses, we don't pay recruiters, and we don't use third parties to interview candidates. These are important things to know about us and this will also give you an idea of the type of team you could be working with. We do the work. We are very small (11 people) as of this writing, pay competitive salaries, and everyone gets equity.

  • Full Stack Engineer

    You'll work in the heart of the engineering organization and the scope of work you'll be exposed to will be varied. You'll spend a meaningful amount of time in systems that normalize instructions across blockchain infrastructures and inventing solutions that simply don't exist yet. You'll work with people who enjoy solving problems and are not likely to be afraid of new challenges.

  • Front End Engineer

    You'll partner with design to implement delightful experiences. This involves development work on our stablecoin issuance application and various unannounced products. You probably like to imagine experiences that put a smile on people's face and you really sweat the details.

  • Security Engineer

    You'll work in the heart of the engineering organization with a specialty in hardening processes and systems. You'll partner with an experienced team focused on various systems, particularly AWS focused, and an external CISO advisor on various implementations.

  • Head of Legal

    You'll lead Brale's legal strategy and navigate the complex regulatory landscape of digital assets. As we expand internationally, you'll oversee everything from contract negotiations to compliance frameworks for our stablecoin infrastructure. You have deep fintech or digital asset experience and know how to balance legal prudence with business growth.

  • Head of Talent

    You'll be instrumental in building out our high-performing team. Starting with what works - we've consistently met or exceeded our goals - you'll develop talent strategies that maintain our standards while fostering growth. You navigate sensitive conversations with empathy and know how to create an environment where remote teams thrive. There is nothing to fix here - your mission is to enhance and expand our already strong foundation.


There are a few other items to be aware of before applying. If you join the team, we want you to be successful and to do that we need to be transparent about some observations on what makes someone successful at Brale.

The first is that the company hires remotely and there is no inherent home base. Everyone works from where they are and we get together as a team one time per quarter. These gatherings are not optional and are an important part of how we work together. We've also found that it's very difficult for team members located outside of ET, MT, CT, and PT to keep with the regular operating cadence of the business.

The second is that we hire passionate people who care about the problems we are working on. We've also noticed that relating to our norms as a company sets people up for success. This likely means you have a meaningful appreciation for the power of protocols and often think about ways to improve systems using the latest technologies.

The third is that, working on this team is not a way to spend our days, it is a way of impacting the change we see as possible in the world. We believe when executing with that level of care, we can not only make a meaningful impact on the world but everyone on the team as well. We expect this level of care and appreciation for the opportunity ahead from everyone on the team. Our reward system is seeing what people do with our products and seeing our clients exceed their objectives.
